Domestic Airspace

Canadian Domestic Airspace includes
all airspace over the Canadian land
mass and the Canadian Arctic and
certain areas over the high seas.
Regional Gliding School
Domestic Airspace is divided
into two areas. They are:

Northern Domestic Airspace
– Close proximity to the magnetic pole.
Compass is hard to read here.

Southern Domestic Airspace
– Most areas within Canada fall into this
division. Most aircraft fly at set altitudes.
Regional Gliding School
Altimeter Regions

Altimeter Setting Region
– Prior to take-off or landing, a pilot will set
the aircraft's altimeter to the nearest
aerodrome.

Standard Pressure Region
– Includes areas mostly in the north and
airspace above 18,000 feet. Altimeters are
set to the standard setting of 29.92”Hg.
Regional Gliding School
Sparsely Settled Areas

Geographical areas of Canada with few settlements.

Flight in such sparsely settled areas requires special
precautions and procedures because of limited
navigation facilities, severe weather conditions, limited
weather information, limited fuel supplies and servicing
facilities.
Regional Gliding School
High and Low Level Airspace:

High level airspace
– All Canadian Domestic Airspace that is
18,000 feet and above

Low level airspace
– All Canadian Domestic Airspace that is
below 18,000 feet

Restricted Area
Flight is either completely prohibited or
restricted to specific conditions.
Danger Area
Airspace in which activities may constitute
a potential hazard to aircraft.
Regional Gliding School
Alert Area
Area in which a high volume of flying
training or unusual type of aerial activity is
carried out. Flight within these areas is
not prohibited but pilots should exercise
extreme caution.
Regional Gliding School
Military Flying Area
High level airspace reserved for military
flying and testing exercises. Civilian
aircraft are not allowed in this area.

Congratulations!!
You have now completed the Airspace lesson of the Aeronautical
Rules and Facilities Module. Of course, this lesson is always available
to you for future reference if required.
You are now ready to move along to the next Aeronautical Rules and
Facilities lesson you have not completed or to any other module you
wish. You can advance to the Self Test Module if you feel ready to
challenge the final exam.
Good Luck!
